About This Spot
Amazing soaring site. Play on the sand or go high (about 1000m), until the sunset. Go there in the afternoon, 3/4 hours before the sunset. - Tapouillo
Yes this is a great site. It is great for training but also good for more advanced flyers. Beginners can stick to the small dune and more advanced flyers can work back up to the top of the mountain, get high, and head off down the ridge. - LaurieSummers
Takeoff altitude: 217m
